But, I’m not going to get in trouble … hey loddy … loddy, Mr. Crow is back!
As noted, I am in the midst of 21 Days of Crows with a magpie thrown in occasionally. Birds are slim pickings up high in the Rockies in the middle of Winter. Thus, today’s crow … and a pinecone!
I worked hard for Mr. Magpie. Throughout most of the day up here in the Colorado Rockies white-out conditions were pervasive. It was impossible to see more than 20 yards. Around 4 pm conditions began to abate, and I spent the next hour hiking around enjoying the balmy weather (10F + 30 mph wind). Finally I found a grove of lodge pole pines that were in a gully where the wind was not so strong, and managed to capture today’s photo!
Well … the lack of bird options continues up here in the Rockies. Thus, as promised crows, and eventually a few magpies will keep this 365 Day Project dedicated to bird photography going. It almost looked as if this crow did not want to get its feet wet!
